Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

Ah-Dai was promoted from Skeleton Soldier to Skeleton Warrior, and his rank was also promoted from Ordinary to Iron.

The current Ah Dai is a true Black Iron, possessing extraordinary combat power.

As Ah-Dai broke through to the next level, Roya, who was bound to the same origin, also stepped into the Black Iron level.

Unlike the massive, fiery advance that engulfed Ah Dai's bones, or the lightning-stirred, extraordinary phenomena that sparked Misha's breakthrough, Roya's advancement was silent and uneventful, like a roadside path.

He turned off the system panel and instantly sensed the transformation of his body. His physique became stronger and stronger, and a pure and extraordinary power slowly surged and flowed through his limbs and bones.

Luo Ya raised his right hand, and with a slight thought, his palm was instantly covered with a thick layer of dark energy, turning his entire hand into a matte black.

This is the exclusive mark of a Black Iron-level transcendent—Black Iron Magic.

This world does not have systems like battle qi or primordial energy. All extraordinary things originate from magic power. It's just that the cultivation techniques and attribute enhancements are different, which is why there are all sorts of names.

The most direct way to distinguish the strength level of an extraordinary person is to observe the color of the magic they use.

Of course, there are also some shady characters in this world who use secret techniques to conceal and alter magical energy, hiding their true strength.

The basic function of Black Iron Magic is to amplify destructive power, while also slightly increasing speed and defense. However, to obtain a more powerful amplification effect, it is still necessary to combine it with corresponding secret arts and combat skills.

Currently, Roya only knows the most basic ways to use magic.

Besides the original black iron magic, there is also a trace of special elemental power hidden in his body.

Two fingers lightly touched, and a tiny arc of electricity instantly burst forth, crackling loudly.

This is the contractual gift that Misha brought him.

This gift couldn't help him break through his cultivation level, but it did awaken his secondary lightning element affinity. If activated at full power, it could unleash a bolt of lightning as thick as a toothpick.

Although its current power is negligible, its potential is immense and its future is promising.

Just as Roya was getting used to his new power, a crisp knock came from outside the door.

He never locked the door in the past, but today he locked it on purpose.

"Roya, are you in there?" Sophia's sweet voice came from outside the door.

"Coming," Roya said, opening the door.

Sophia tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "You seem to be in a good mood today?"

Whether it was her imagination or not, she felt that Luo Ya in front of her had undergone an inexplicable change compared to before, and his temperament had become more calm and composed.

"Hehe, it's just a minor breakthrough in strength." Luo Ya waved his hand, his lips curving upwards, looking as if it were nothing to mention.

Sophia declined to comment on this.

She sparred with Roya without using her supernatural powers.

As a result, Roya was no match for her at all.

Luo Ya, despite losing, was strangely adorable with his stubbornness.

Luo Ya keenly noticed the smile in her eyes, sensing that she was thinking something impolite, and immediately interrupted, "What do you want to see me about?"

"Cough, you haven't forgotten, have you? We made a date today. You're going to test sail, and I'm going to Giant Lizard Island," Sophia said, her smile fading and her tone slightly helpless.

Luo Ya then suddenly remembered the agreement made yesterday.

His secondhand two-masted sailboat, the "Velvet," has been refurbished and is ready to go to sea for its first sea trial.

Therefore, he specifically chose Giant Lizard Island, which is more than ten nautical miles away from White Sand Island. The distance was not too far or too close, just enough for him to practice the nautical knowledge he had learned during this period.

Upon learning this, Sophia mentioned that there were rare herbs on the island and wanted to visit it to collect them, to which Roya readily agreed.

This morning, he sensed that Misha was about to break through, so he locked the door and waited for her to advance. He then cleared the dungeon very smoothly, almost putting his plans to go to sea on hold.

"Wait a moment."

Roya quickly changed into a neat sailor's outfit, with a fine steel longsword with a leather sheath at his waist and a short-barreled smoothbore musket hanging from his back belt.

If he were to wear a captain's hat and a windproof coat, he would look every bit the capable pirate captain.

Sophia glanced at him sideways.

Luo Ya was born with sharp features and a strong, masculine aura. His bronze skin gave off a healthy and robust feel, and this outfit made him even more dashing and eye-catching.

The refurbished Velvet has already sailed out of the inland lake and is now quietly moored on the dock.

The ship's name, Velvet, is painted on both sides of the bow.

In fact, Roya could have renamed the Velvet.

However, his choice of name was so terrible that he simply kept the old name and also preserved the wooden swan figurehead at the bow of the ship.

"Get on the ship."

As Luo Ya spoke, he lightly leaped onto the three-meter-high deck.

Sophia, on the other hand, was much more ladylike. She changed into an outfit suitable for going to sea, with long boots covering her trousers, a thick velvet shirt underneath, and a windproof coat on top, looking both capable and appropriate.

Besides the two men, there were two middle-aged sailors on board, skilled men hired by Roya from the dock, earning two silver coins a day.

After all, this was his first time officially setting sail in a two-masted sailboat, a completely different concept from his previous experience of rowing small boats. Experienced sailors can reliably handle all kinds of emergencies at sea.

It was just a routine test voyage, and no one came to see it off; the dock was unusually quiet.

With the foresail lowered and aided by the sea breeze, the Velvet steadily sailed out of the harbor.

The nearshore waters were calm, and Roya and Sofia were able to handle it with ease. However, once they were away from White Sand Island, the sea breeze suddenly became stronger, the waves surged, and the ship began to rock.

Raising and lowering sails, steering the rudder, and observing the course—every step requires human intervention. A slight mishap can cause the ship to veer off course or even encounter unknown dangers.

The mast lookout tower requires dedicated personnel to be on duty at all times, keeping a close eye on the sea.

At first, Roya summoned Ah-Dai and Misha to help, but the two little guys only caused trouble. Helpless, he had to put them back into the [Summoning] space and rely on two skilled sailors to stabilize the ship.

The division of labor was quickly finalized: Roya took control of the helm, Sophia stood guard at the lookout to observe the route and adjust the course in a timely manner, and the two sailors worked together quite well, one controlling the foresail and the other the mainsail.

The Velvet maintained a steady speed of six knots and, after more than three hours of smooth sailing, finally arrived at the waters near Giant Lizard Island.

During the voyage, Roya took out the enchanted equipment, Captain John's Hat.

The moment he put on the hat, he immediately gained a panoramic view, able to see everything inside and outside the ship, and even clearly hear the whispers of two sailors.

This alchemical equipment is a godsend for captains of large ships with many sailors, as it can monitor all movements on the ship and prevent secret collusion.

But for Roya, who only intends to take the elite route, it's really a bit of a double-edged sword.

He's a respectable gentleman; he can't possibly be spying while wearing a hat.
